Our choice falls on the Prado Museum to admire works such as the Meninas by Vel\u00e1zquez, the Three Graces by Rubens, or the Naked Maja by Goya.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Keep in mind that the time will fly by among the works of art, and if you are an art lover, perhaps it is good that you think about removing activities from this itinerary to dedicate it to the Prado Museum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Entrance fee \u20ac15. Hours: Monday to Saturday: 10:00 am to 8:00 pm. Sundays and holidays: from 10:00 to 19:00 hours.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The museum has days and hours with free admission, to inform you about this, we leave here the link to : <a href=\"https:\/\/www.museodelprado.es\/visita-el-museo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Museo del Prado\/visits<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"https:\/\/europaacompanada.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/madrid-1758045_1280.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3449\" srcset=\"https:\/\/europaacompanada.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/madrid-1758045_1280.jpg 800w, https:\/\/europaacompanada.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/madrid-1758045_1280-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/europaacompanada.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/madrid-1758045_1280-272x182.jpg 272w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div data-gyg-href=\"https:\/\/widget.getyourguide.com\/default\/activites.frame\" data-gyg-locale-code=\"en-US\" data-gyg-widget=\"activities\" data-gyg-number-of-items=\"3\" data-gyg-partner-id=\"JBOGQWX\" data-gyg-q=\"museos madrid\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Atocha_Station\"><\/span>Atocha Station<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If we continue the walk after leaving the museum, we will arrive at the Atocha station. Beyond not having to go to take any train, it is a very nice walk to see its interior garden. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is the most important train station in Madrid, was inaugurated in 1851, suffered a major fire in 1888, and on March 11, 2004 was the victim of a terrible bomb attack, which left 191 victims.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The tropical garden of the station consists of more than 500 different species, until 2018 in the pond lived many turtles, they were moved by the City of Madrid to a better acclimatized area.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-image-3450\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"339\" src=\"https:\/\/europaacompanada.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/atocha2.jpeg\" alt=\"Atocha\" class=\"wp-image-3450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/europaacompanada.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/atocha2.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/europaacompanada.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/atocha2-768x325.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/europaacompanada.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/atocha2-1536x650.jpeg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Interior of Atocha station<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u25ba Are you also visiting Barcelona, don&#8217;t miss out on our <strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/europaacompanada.com\/en\/what-to-see-in-barcelona-in-3-days\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Complete Guide to Barcelona<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Circulo_de_Bellas_Artes_viewpoint\"><\/span>C\u00edrculo de Bellas Artes viewpoint<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To culminate the tour of the second day we are going to see Madrid from the heights. Madrid has several viewpoints, at the beginning we said that the Palacio de Cibeles is one of them, we also have the viewpoint of Moncloa a little further away, and the roof of the C\u00edrculo de Bellas Artes. The latter is the one chosen because of its proximity to all the places we are visiting, and the other reason is that personally I really like the views from it, apart from the fact that you can take a break upstairs and have a drink.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The entrance fee is \u20ac5 and the opening hours: Monday to Sunday: from 09:00 to 00:00 hs. Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, cafeteria service from 11:00 am.

If you have more days to dedicate to Madrid is ideal, it is a city with a lot of charm in which you will want to spend hours walking. And in that case yes, you could add more museums as I told you above in the section of the Prado Museum, or climb to the viewpoint of Moncloa as we said just now. Also visit neighborhoods like Malasa\u00f1a, or the Barrio de las Letras, or make a visit to the Rastro on a Sunday, are things you can not miss. But as we said before, for this you will need more days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div data-gyg-href=\"https:\/\/widget.getyourguide.com\/default\/city.frame\" data-gyg-iata=\"MAD\" data-gyg-locale-code=\"en-US\" data-gyg-widget=\"city\" data-gyg-partner-id=\"JBOGQWX\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For soccer lovers, a visit to the Santiago Bernabeu is a must.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div data-gyg-href=\"https:\/\/widget.getyourguide.com\/default\/activites.frame\" data-gyg-locale-code=\"en-US\" data-gyg-widget=\"activities\" data-gyg-number-of-items=\"2\" data-gyg-partner-id=\"JBOGQWX\" data-gyg-q=\"santiago bernabeu\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Moncloa viewpoint is a very good option if you have time to spare.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"475\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/europaacompanada.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/moncloa.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3474\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3475\" src=\"https:\/\/europaacompanada.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/WhatsApp-Image-2020-01-17-at-17.22.18.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1600\" height=\"393\" srcset=\"https:\/\/europaacompanada.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/WhatsApp-Image-2020-01-17-at-17.22.18.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/europaacompanada.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/WhatsApp-Image-2020-01-17-at-17.22.18-768x189.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/europaacompanada.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/WhatsApp-Image-2020-01-17-at-17.22.18-1536x377.jpeg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"EXTRAS_maps_and_video\"><\/span>EXTRAS: maps and video<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/d\/embed?mid=1OAaWKZgnWLPlDdM86DCR4AZ9A3YTBnXf\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/d\/embed?mid=1xJghvqVv8sgXjTrj_OFgfGpr_MZeV8DJ\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/zsfncofOGNI?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block;
